Elite public speaking requires the uncanny ability to capture the essence of the subject matter while fascinating the audience seamlessly. Very few people are capable of doing this so regularly. I pride myself in being an elite public speaker...until I hear Melissa. She is truly a next stratosphere elite speaker who continuously hones her craft raising the bar for the rest of us to hit. Melissa Overton is hands down one of the absolute best speakers I have ever had the pleasure to not only witness but, more importantly, to have learned from.

When I first met Melissa Overton, she was teaching ACLS and PALS. I had taken these courses many times before, always feeling a bit anxious about whether I would pass. However, Melissa’s approach was a game-changer. She broke the information down into bite-sized, palatable pieces, making it easy to understand and remember. I felt confident and knew I would pass the test. Her teaching was so impressive that I asked her to dinner. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Melissa speak at numerous events. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but what sets her apart is her dynamic presence.

Melissa’s training is not just eye-opening but practical and easy to implement. She addresses present-day issues and teaches life-long skills that people of all ages and career-levels greatly benefit from. Bringing Melissa into your organization is an investment with tremendous results!
